METHOD
- Drain and rinse all the canned beans under cold water.
- Heat oil in a Dutch oven or large stock pot over medium heat. Add onions and cook till translucent. Next stir in the jalapeño and garlic. Cook garlic for about a minute.Note: If you can't take the heat, then deseed the jalapeño before dicing them.
- Add diced tomatoes, black beans, red kidney beans, pinto beans, sweet corn, and nutritional yeast. Mix together till combined.
- Then add all the spices (taco seasoning, cumin powder, paprika powder, salt).
- Next pour in the broth and give it a good stir to combine it all.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, and place the lid over partially uncovered to let the steam out. Cook for 25 minutes, and stirring occasionally. Optional: Add a little broth or water, if soup seems to be too thick in consistency.
- Top it with your favorite toppings and serve hot with a side of tortilla chips and/or vegan sour cream.
NOTES
- Spice: Always taste and adjust the seasonings before serving your soup to ensure it’s flavored to your liking.
- Consistent simmer: Maintain a steady simmer to ensure the flavors meld together. The longer you simmer, the more developed the flavors become.
- Homemade chips: For the most authentic flavor, toast your own corn tortilla strips.
- Adjust the soup thickness: If the soup thickens upon storage, dilute it with a bit of broth during reheating.
